Tony")* Hi, There is no need to "make a zone for each province" since each province of Canada is already entered by default in HikaShop. But yes, you'll need to make one rule per combination of province and tax rate, and if you have several tax rates for the same zone, you'll have to turn on the "cumulative" option of your tax rules so that both tax rates apply to the prices.

Here is the step-by-step guide on **HOW TO SET UP TAXES FOR CANADIAN PROVINCES** (as of 2015) 1. System>Configuration>Taxes> Main tax zone – set to Canada 2. System>Taxes>Manage tax categories – leave Default tax category 3. System>Taxes>Manage Rates>NEW – this is where you set up tax rates for each province. Tax namekey should be e.g. ON (GST), QC (GST), NB (HST) because that’s how it will show up on the checkout. Then add Rate – 13, 5, … Now you have the rates prepared and you have to connect them with the proper Zones. Go to: 4. System>Taxes> make sure you see Tax rules title on the top, and +New Product tax category – Default tax category Rate – choose a province with the rate Cumulative tax – No This would be used before when we had two types of taxes in one province Zone – choose the appropriate province from the dropdown. Make sure it matches the Rate!!!
